Mirai Solutions GmbH (http://www.mirai-solutions.com) is pleased to announce the availability of XLConnect on github. Whether you want to browse the code or simply want access to the latest development version of XLConnect, visit us on github.

XLConnect can be directly installed from github using the excellent devtools package:

XLConnect is a comprehensive and cross-platform R package for manipulating Microsoft Excel files from within R. XLConnect differs from other related R packages in that it is completely cross-platform and as such runs under Windows, Unix/Linux and Mac (32- and 64-bit). Moreover, it does not require any installation of Microsoft Excel or any other special drivers to be able to read & write Excel files. The only requirement is a recent version of a Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

Hi Matthew,
oh, interesting. The package built and installed fine on Windows and Linux (Ubuntu) in my case – and it also builds fine on the CRAN side. Could you install the package from CRAN using install.packages(“XLConnect”, type = “source”) and then run the example from section 4 of the XLConnect vignette? Note, rather than copy-pasting from the PDF, you can get to the code using edit(file = system.file(“XLConnect.R”, package = “XLConnect”)). If you can send the traceback together with the output of sessionInfo() to xlconnect-bugs@mirai-solutions.com that would be great.
Thanks,
Martin
